Senior boy Ernie is looking for a patient and understanding person who can help him learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. ❤️
Ernie is frightened of new people, as well as leashes and collars.
Ernie will need a calm home with someone willing to give him plenty of time, patience, and positive training. He’ll also need regular grooming and help becoming comfortable with being handled so that his coat doesn’t become matted again.
Ernie may need a little extra understanding, but helping a scared senior dog finally feel safe would be incredibly rewarding. If you think you could be the patient person Ernie needs, please send us a message. Madison County Animal Services - NC 💜
*Ernie is currently in a short term foster home.
